It's wine o'clock!!

[kittyriot]

Who else is drinking?!

Its been a long, weird week so I'm ready for the wine. And the random chit chat that goes along with it.

Are there people still lurking about? It seems as if the board is really quieting down come weekends.

[athn64]

I'm here. Tryingto get dinner made and keep the kids out of trouble.

[scotty138]

I'm here. Not drinking yet, but we'll be camping in about an hour and then I will be indulging. Right now we are driving to the ILs.

[athn64]

DH took a preliminary exam for a job he applied for today. Fingers crossed it moves him toward an interview. He really needs to get out of that soul sucking place he's in.

[kittyriot]

H is gone to a gaming convention in Ohio, so there will be no comments about paying less attention to my phone. Woo hoo!

Which one? We've been stuck with local cons only the last few years, but DH is always interested in what's out there. If it's in C-bus we could even visit his dad some.

It is that one!

Origins.

It's his first time checking it out. But after 9 years straight of GenCon I'm not sure it will even compare.

Nothing compares to GenCon.

The buddy he's going with is one of his GenCon crew, they say they're going into with the right expectations but I know they'll be bummed if they don't gel with a table or two. GenCon you generally luck out that you meet good people somewhere along the way cause it's just so darn big.

[emmagk]

It's only 3pm. I'm on the couch watching criminal minds

[emmagk]

Trying to decide between dim sum and sushi for dinner

We luck out with our smaller ones that most of our group goes to them too. So we pretty well make our own table. 

[athn64]

emmagk, I vote dim sum because I want some and can't get it here.

Ditto! Eat dim sum and post pictures. I will salivate and dream about the flavours!

We may open some wine after the kids are in bed. The kids were tough today and then I had some dental work done. At the end the dentist was all nonchalant in saying call us if you have throbbing pain next week. Then I asked the assistant about it and oh yeah it was worse than it looked on X-ray and may need a root canal. I feel so helpless. I'm I dental hell and I can't get out of it.

[kittyriot]

Ugh, that sounds miserable comicSans - fingers crossed you can avoid the root canal.

[athn64]

comicSans, hope it doesn't need a root canal!

[kittyriot]

Also I feel I must point out, 3 pm seems like a great time to kick off the celebration that is Friday emmagk - and well now it's almost 4 pm! I suggest a glass of white to ease into the evening.

Got it, don't let kittyriot tempt you into being the lush Mom at pickup! Soon though!

Reporting here. I'm having wine. I can hear the girls running back and forth in their room, they're suppose to be in bed. Idgaf right now

[SpinsOffResonance]

DD1 made a card to give grandma. We put it in her coffin so she could be buried with it 😢

That is completely beautiful and utterly heartbreaking. I want to FedEx you wine.

[rainbowsockmonkey]

I pulled the second half of my strawberry banana daiquiri out of the freezer to have after the kids go to bes tonight.

[SpinsOffResonance]

Having my second glass of wine. Thank you kittyriot

christian funeral (or is it American funerals) are weird. They didn't put the coffin in the ground. They set it on top of the grave, said a prayer and that's it, everyone leaves. What happened to lowering the coffin in the grave and throwing dirt on it?!! That part gets me every time. You don't do that here?

I think it all depends on the community and the cemetery. I've seen both here in North America.

[footloose]

I am low on data and switching internet companies so only here for a minute!

Just got home from work and it is hot out, so naturally out a cider in the freezer to get cold. Giving Peyton a bath and then Cleo because she stinks 😝

Have to pack and load up the car tonight to head up north to visit my parents as soon as I finish work tomorrow. Busy busy
